John Sherlock, MBA, MS, PMP "Managing Project Details: Going Beyond the Gantt Chart"
Project Management can start on the whiteboard, move to the spreadsheet, eventually morphing into the time-tested Gantt chart. It is all too common that a Project Manager might reach the milestone of Gantt chart generation and not pursue the more insightful avenues of EVM, PDM, CPM, CCM, group creativity techniques, alternatives generation, variance and trend analysis, reserve analysis, resource optimization techniques, schedule compression, risk probability and impact assessment, etc. These are each familiar PMBOK® terms which have very practical uses in extending the reach of the basic Gantt chart. This presentation will explore a PM’s life beyond the Gantt chart and into the realm of PM analytics. As a practitioner turned academic, it is most rewarding to see textbook theory become reality. Let us help you bridge the gap from the classroom (from the PMBOK®) to the Project Manager’s desktop.
